Check out all the EEOC cases against companies where EEOC WON MILLIONS from those CIVILIAN companies. The SAME TYPE OF EEOC cases against government managers only renders a maximum amount, $300,000.00 (only IF the employee wins that judgment in court), which is usually tied up in court so the poor government employee, who lost their job FOR NO REASON, gets nothing except NO JOB and possibly OWCP or forced retirement at an early age! THESE ARE FACTS… CHECK IT OUT!

Government managers who commit crimes SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for those crimes! These criminals should be punished just as their civilian counterparts are punished. Look at EEOC.gov and observe ALL THE civilian companies that HAVE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE for violations of the SAME Federal laws that government managers have violated and NOT been held accountable for and STILL make over $100,000.00/year! Govt managers go unpunished and the employee loses their job!

USDA & govt agency mgmt personnel CAUSE employees to go on OWCP by violating Federal Law (EEOC). Those people in mgmt are criminals that go unpunished & many GOOD employees DO NOT want OWCP, they would prefer working but are forced by mgmt to choose between accepting OWCP or “being removed from federal service” for ABSOLUTELY NO reason except the fact that mgmt WANTS IT THAT WAY! I know personally that this happens because it happened to my friend, a chemist with USDA in 2007.

Just retiring employees at the outdated salary and with only the actual years of service is grossly unfair. These employees, thru no fault of their own, have been denied the ability to work to the maximum number of years, receive cost of living adjustment, step increases, contributions to the thrift plan and possible promotions. Using 50% of the salary many years ago is totaly unjust and I oppose it adamantly.
